"FROM THE BOX: Howard was business, but not all business... THE PASSIONS OF HOWARD HUGHES is a fascinating look at how power, possessions and personality created a lifetime of passionate affairs with the most desirable women in the world. I thought this documentary moves quickly and always keeps your interest. Great new interviews with Jane Russell and Robert Wagner too. Also has a lot of DVD bonus material - with several complete theatrical trailers for Hughes' produced films and also many newsreels featuring Hughes and his avionics. "
